RE: Cloning Herbs - Basil, Mint and planting some Leek. Never buy them again!!!

in #homesteading7 years ago (edited)

This is the kind of information i love to absorb fully :-) Never did the plastic thing, will definitely try that. Rooting powder is absolutely unfindable here, any idea what could replace it? Or what it actually is? I must say that i don't understand you have to be busy with cloning mint, it doesn't seem to die out in my garden, it's almost a pest, fat roots go everywhere, popping up everywhere. The leeks i also never tried so i am very happy you give me some try-out experiments for the coming days, love.

@bubke you can get rooting powder for only Rs200!

Haha, nice, thanks but now i want to spit and using apple cider vinegar :-)

oh, Very Anastasia!

Thank you. The rooting powder and the gel both contain Indole-3-butyric acid. You might find this article interesting http://preparednessmama.com/natural-rooting-hormone/.
My mint all died during the rainy season. It was overgrown with weeds and completely drowned. My fault of course, so I was glad I found some on the market. You can probably just put in some water and it will root as well. Good luck experimenting.

Hey, i looked at that post, wonderful ideas, spitting sounds most fun, thanks :)
